- I had lunch with my friends Connie and Sheri at Honest Mary's on Saturday. Usually I like to try something new every time I go back to a restaurant, but the last salad I got at Honest Mary's was so good, I got the same exact salad again. It did not disappoint. So good. Company was even better! Long lunches with great conversation are a rare and wonderful treat.
- I also have a serious love for Trader Joe's. They have such cool vegetables and they have COOKIE BUTTER! Had a blast cruising all the aisles with Sheri. Thank goodness the place is kind of small or we would have been there all day. Here is my loot! I already made scallops, used the potatoes, basil and ate the pomegranate seeds. So fun to eat them without all the work of pulling them out of the pod!
- One indication of getting old....you are walking to your car with your groceries and just about the time you are going to open the car door to get in, you have to pee. Now, when you are old and the urge to pee hits you it means you should have found a bathroom 45 minutes ago. There is exactly zero time between "Oh I think I need to pee" to standing with your legs crossed trying not to pee in the parking lot of Trader Joe's. No time. None. So I spent a few minutes outside my car, practicing Kegel exercises, pretending to examine something really interesting in the back seat while Sheri laughed her face off. Getting old is not for wimps.
- Our local dog park is having some work done, so we have been checking out another dog park in the area. This one is a bit of a drive and since TWDITW doesn't really love being in the car, it is not a particularly pleasant drive. Nevertheless, the park itself is LOVELY! Thirteen acres of trees and grass and big tubs to jump in. Coop and I have met Tibi and Lori a couple of times this weekend and it is great! Can't wait to visit when the trees are full of leaves.
- A second indication of getting old....your friend says something so funny in the middle of the dog park and you laugh really hard and then freeze in panic. Because, guess why? You have to pee! WHAT THE HECK! Twice in one weekend I was frozen in place with a bladder that had I moved even a fraction of an inch would have emptied on the spot. I swear. Why are my friends so funny? I am also so old that I don't even try to pretend it isn't happening. I just make an announcement that I am going to have to stand locked in place until I can get control of my bladder and make haste towards a restroom. It is the worst! Of course, I am also laughing the whole time which doesn't help a bit. I am a joy to be around.
- The Worst Dog In the World sleeps like a baby after frantically protesting for the twenty minute drive to the dog park, romping at the park for an hour and a half and then frantically protesting for the twenty minute drive home. He hasn't moved. This is when I love him most.
That is all for now! I have to go get ready for a Broadway Play! Going to see School of Rock tonight! Can't wait!
